President and CEO of Aktia
Aktia's Board of Directors has appointed M.Soc.Sc.
Aleksi Lehtonen as the new President and CEO of
Aktia Bank Plc. He will start in his position in the beginning of
December 2024 at the latest.
Aleksi Lehtonen will move to Aktia from Nordea, where he has
been Head of Business Banking Finland since 2018 together with the
more administrative role as Country Senior Executive since 2022.
During his career in Nordea for more than 24 years, Lehtonen has
also held several managerial positions in Nordea Markets where he
has been in charge of risk management and investment solutions,
among others.
“We are very pleased with the outcome of the recruitment
process, and Aleksi Lehtonen is the best possible choice for the
new CEO of Aktia. Through his versatile work history, Aleksi has
demonstrated not only an understanding of different business areas
but also strong management of entities and collaboration. We see
this as a special strength for the future of Aktia. In recent
years, Aktia has undergone a major strategic transformation towards
becoming a wealth manager bank. We will continue the determined
implementation of our strategy. However, with regard to business
growth and profitability, it's time to improve the pace,” says
Lasse Svens, Chairman of the Board of Aktia.
“We particularly appreciate Aleksi’s strong people-oriented
leadership that plays a key role in developing Aktia's corporate
culture and employee experience further. His comprehensive
knowledge of the financial sector and personal merits of both
financial and operational management are convincing and provide
good prerequisites for Aktia to reach the company's full potential.
I want to extend Aleksi a warm welcome to Aktia,” Svens
continues.
“I am delighted to accept my new position as CEO of Aktia.
Aktia's nearly two hundred years of history and bilingual identity,
as well as its quick decision-making ability and low hierarchy
build a solid foundation for the wealth manager bank’s success. The
focus on customer experience in Aktia's strategy resonates a lot to
me and I look forward to meeting the employees as by only doing
things together can we achieve the best customer experience,”
Aleksi Lehtonen says.
The appointment is conditional on the Financial Supervisory
Authority not having any objections to the appointment.
